Defaults on Credit File Question
Photogaz
Posts: 37 Forumite
I'm about to apply for additional borrowing and will be credit checked. I had a default come off yesterday and now my credit file scores 999/999 on Experian.
Should I await to apply or will credit agencies all have updated?

The default will fall off all records on the 6yr anniversary. Bear in mind a score of 999 means diddly squat.0

You need to check all three files to see what accounts appear. Disregard your 999 score and any made up numbers given to you.
Use an eligibility check to see where to best apply if you have a patchy history.0
